I think what the rule is saying is that if your army takes any units from Liskar, at least one has to go in the Liskarchon's command. If you don't take any Liskar units, the rule has no effect. Yes, he could be taken on his own, and he could have Gorgonares/Hydrares in his command. Hey RM, thanks f...

I don't really want to give too much away, but it will be similar to Space Hulk in that each unit will have "action points" (which we call Stamina), and depending on the action, Stamina points will be used. Almost everything will have the same Stamina to use per hour, at least in initial ...

It's actually muster 1.5 now, but the rule is the same, so I guess the question is alright in this place: When I roll for the petrification damage of either Liskar/Vasilisk, does a 9 allow for a further die to be rolled?

Previous and further actions of recovering
Heyho,
It seems like the action matrix allows recovering after walking, and no further actions and thus seems to contradict the Recover Action-paragraph which allows walking, running etc. before and after the recover action). Which one is correct?
